Maria Soto's Online Review Report Card

I have not found another doctor like Dr. Soto-Aguilar. She is quite knowledgeable and thorough. She takes her time with you and really listens. The office visits run a bit long but that is because she gives each patient the time and attention that he or she needs. She demonstrates concern about the 'whole' person.

I do not recommend this doctor if you have moderate to severe chronic pain/unknown autoimmune disease/disease or condition. I have Fibromyalgia with ongoing chronic pain. I have seen more specialists in my life than most people see in 3 lifetimes. I have never had such a hard time getting calls back, getting communication, getting information and prompt blood work in my life. I tried for several days to get a call back from a nurse. I am in severe pain. My calls are not returned and good luck getting someone in the office because they always have an answering service answering phones. One evening when I was in tears because of the pain (technically they were still open but once again had their phones forwarded), one of the answering service receptionist took my message as urgent and paged the doctor. Never heard from her. I just discovered I have an autoimmune disease but we don’t know which one yet. She ordered one set of blood tests a while ago, results have been back for quite a while, she never called me with the results, I had to figure it out myself, never heard anything back from her or her staff. When I finally got someone on the phone, they told me that she wants me to wait till my appointment 3 MONTHS from now to go further. I have an unknown autoimmune disease and Fibromyalgia that are destroying my life and you want me to wait for 3 months to get another bloodwork script...? You have to be out of your mind. Where is your sense of urgency? What about “do no harm”? What about my quality of life? That is simply neglect. I am suffering and nobody can call me back to add or adjust my meds. Nobody and I mean nobody returns my calls, no matter when I call, how many times I call, or how much pain I’m in. They just don’t care, they are so important that they can’t call me back.. Finally just called today and told the receptionist “I am a very patient person but I have had enough. We need to do something. I’m suffering. I need help now. Please help me.” Nobody ever called me back. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. Unbelievable how little they care about my chronic pain that may keep me from graduating, holding a full time job and living my life. I don’t know how they are still in business or how they sleep at night. Disgusting excuse for a doctor and doctor’s office as a whole.

Im a nurse and expect the absolute best from my doctors and she far exceeds that....she is very knowledgeable but has a warm reassuring way about her.....she takes her time with you and answrrs all your questions. her staff always treats you like your the #1 special pt.......

don't look any further. extremely satisfied. excellent doctor.

she has been practicing a long time. she knows everything. I was in pain. could not sleep. go crazy. she stopped the pain. I would want her for my primary dr. if that was possible. she is the best dr. I have ever been to. wish I found her sooner.

I am very blessed to have found Dr Soto. I have never come across a doctor who has so much compassion for her patients and spends so much time with each one.I use to have a fear of going to the doctor,now I look forward to it and trust completely that I am in the best hands and getting the best care. Her staff is wonderful as well.

She is a truly wonderful doctor and individual .

My first appointment with this doctor was amazing, She spent more then an hour with me and was so thorough. I loved her personality and I am very happy I have found her. I am confident she will do everything possible to help me. Thank you Dr. Aguilar!!

iam months from 70 years old, many doctors. never have I had such a great doctor. spend more time with me than any doctor ever. appx. a full hour. many questions, full history. all trying to help me fill better. she did. I would recommend her to anyone.

One of the best physicians I have ever known. Her knowledge, compassion, bed side manners are exemplary - and add to that her soft spoken humbleness is a unique caracter when comes to a physician! As a nurse, I see Dr Soto walking the hospital halls, rounding on her pts, and it amazes me with how much respect she treats them, and the time she takes to listen to their probmems. She manages my asthma, and I have never felt better. Thanks Dr Soto. Always a pleasure seeing you !
